The above is what I do because it is fun, the other guys are usually sportsmen, the rules are clear, and the competition is fierce. Best of all shooting tips are shared and I get to improve and diversify my skillset.

I am not an internet shooter. I shoot for real in the real world of competition.
For silhouette I use a hunter stocked Anschutz 64 with a cheap 6-18x42 target turret scope.

The silhouette community is active in Alberta, and has an online presence.
Their organized matches happen regularly. Marxman I invite you to join them on the firing line, for your own reasons, and to witness greatness.

i am practising with that goal in mind i know that i will still suck, never having been an athleticaly gifted sort but a lot of silhouette scores suck as i have seen on the alberta site
